Re: Poor Samba throughput on 6.0

I get 25 to 30MB/sec between FreeBSD 6.0 and Windows XP

The various Linux distributions do about the same on this hardware -
3ware striped raid arrays, dual xeon, and 2Gb ram.

in smb.conf I'm using:
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
strict locking = no
use sendfile = yes


Adding the last two options of my setup increased the upload rate by about 2MB/s, with peaks totaling to 20MB/s. The download rate has not been effected however.

6.1 should be easier to tune in that tcp.inflight is selectively
disabled by default for low latency (LAN) connections.

I am using -CURRENT here, disabling net.inet.tcp.inflight improves the download rate by 2MB/s!
